iPaid

Yep, gotta iPad. Don't need it, just wanted it. And of course the most expensive one is the only one that would do, the 64G 3G White AT&T iPad2.

It's very cool, unless you're into flash, which I could care less about. It doesn't crash or do flash, but I like it a lot. I can talk on the phone, yes iPhone4, type on the Macbook Pro, and Facetime on the iPad all without a cord or a care. I am the integrated Apple® experience and I like it. I don't much care what Samsung, Sony, or Microsoft is doing. I have no time for that. I'm having the best experience with the magic Apple things I've got. Weeeeee! Now to pay the bill.

Crushing the Intertron

The staff is in love with the internet. Pandora. Youtube. Gmail. Vimeo. (ad nauseum) Great, but not great. Pandora pigeonholes the music to usually non-retail jams, i.e. death metal, ganga-rap, and other guitar gymnastic noise. Youtube is worse as it occupies the eyes and silences the hands. The hands of work. I'm all about finding moments to screw-off now and again, but customers suffer and our reputation will not be far behind. It is as easy to lose a customer as it is hard to win one.
So the limits have been set for now to only allow certain MAC addresses to access the internet. I could have just stated it plainly, oh that's right I have, but I took it unto my self to make the change today. The bird (no names) kept wondering why the laptop suddenly failed to recognize the network and it took nearly 35 min to restart the box to no avail. I angled that they might consider the pile of work waiting for action. Sneaky bastard management style won't last, but it's all I have when the boss is away and I need to not be there. I wish I could get my area cleaner so I could better enforce cleanliness in other areas of the shop. Well, a clean cyberspace is a good start.
